Penrith.

To make it easier to catch a earlier train, when returning from Derwent Water, I stayed over at a Travelodge in Penrith. As you can see from the picture it has all the essentials:

When I looked out of my bedroom window I saw Redhills Business Park which was a familiar name from HF documents.

So I had a look round and found the HF offices:

About This Site

Here is some history of former HF houses I have visited (there are also some pages about getting to, and walking from, HF houses without using a car).

Over the years I have had holidays in houses that HF have closed. I think it would be good if there were somewhere on the HF website where peoples memories could be stored and made available online.

I know that HF have a paper history archive at Newfield Hall and there is an online book by Harry Wroe but I would see this as something HF could do which is more of a online community thing.

If you find any errors why not let others know by putting a post on the HF Holiday Fans ( unofficial) Facebook forum. I will try to quote such posts here so they don't get lost.
